Yamaha recalls FZ 25 and Fazer 25

Yamaha has issued an immediate recall of the Yamaha FZ 25 and Yamaha Fazer 25 in India. This voluntary recall is being undertaken to address an issue related to head cover bolt loosening on both models.

In total, 23,897 motorcycles (21,640 units of FZ 25 and 2,257 units of Fazer 25) manufactured from January 2017 have been affected. Yamaha says the motorcycles will be repaired free of cost at authorised dealerships and the owners will be contacted individually.

Both motorcycles are powered by a 249cc, single-cylinder, air-cooled, fuel-injected engine with SOHC and two valves. Mated to a five-speed gearbox, the unit produces 20.9hp at 8,000rpm and 20Nm at 6,000rpm. Stopping power is provided by a 282mm disc at the front and 220mm disc brakes at the rear. On the equipment front, both bikes get an all-digital LCD instrument cluster (which includes a trip meter as well as a live fuel economy indicator), LED headlight and tail-light, and alloy wheels.
